Julia Onley Interview

We’re pleased to share another of our interviews of local residents with you. Back in 2012 Linda Hearnshaw interviewed Julia Onley, who had much to share about her childhood in Walworth, the local streets and shops (and, of course, Baldwins!).

What a good idea – capturing the roots of our own health care system which is on the rise again as pharmaceuticals drive people into broken down states of immune dysfunction. Thank you for keeping hold of this treasure and bringing it to the surface for us all to appreciate – and thank you Baldwins for your service to the ever changing community that is Walworth.

The Roots was a Southwark Pensioners Centre project, run in partnership with Julia Honess and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, about the story of Walworth Road-based G. Baldwin and Co.
Working with volunteers from the local community, the project tells the story of Walworth Road based G. Baldwin & Co, one of the oldest and most established herbalists in London, and the many customers who have frequented the shop over its long history.
